When a group of teenagers inadvertently kill his only son, Ed Harley seeks the powers of a backwoods witch to bring the child back to life.
SFX guru Stan Winston helms this movie, and it is the special effects of Pumpkinhead that most stand out. For those alone, it is worth watching, however, it never reached the heights of horror franchises born of the same era. Still, a shining example of fantasy horror that I was thrilled to revisit.
Final rating: - I liked it. Would personally recommend you give it a go.
An honest, committed and well-made low-budget film that delivers what it promises and doesn't leave us dissatisfied.
I just saw this movie, which is currently considered a cult classic and an example of what you want from a low-budget movie. In fact, I understand the motivations of those who say this: the film is not good, it is not one of those films that I feel I will want to review a lot, however it is effective and gives us what it promises, in an honest way.
The script also has its originality, although it is scarce and only sustains a feature film thanks to the ability of the director, the "newbie" Stan Winston, to stretch it, albeit at the expense of a slower pace, which he tried to take advantage of to create Suspense: Set...
